However, the fact remains that warehousing and distribution center management is necessary because of extended lead times and unbalanced business process connections. Consequently, we want to manage warehousing as efficiently as possible. To accomplish this goal, we must bring lean principles into the warehouse and the distribution center. This course covers the lean principles that will help participants reduce waste in warehousing operations by as much as 25%, manage and reduce the flow of inventory, instill disciplined processes, and effectively use visual management.

Engineering the Warehouse

April 1-3, 2014 | Atlanta | 2.1 CEUs Address modern warehouse trade-offs between space and time in optimizing and managing your warehouse.The requirement for high levels of customer service and increasing numbers of SKUs and high labor costs have dramatically increased the complexity of warehouse operations. Its no longer sufficient to manage a warehouse based on ABC classification of SKUs, which treats all those in a category as if they were identical. Instead, each decision such as where to store or pick products, must be based on careful engineering and economic analysis. Each SKU must identify its own cheapest, fastest path through the warehouse to the customer, and then compete with all the other SKUs for the necessary resources. This results in efficient warehouse operations finely tuned to patterns of customer orders.

Inventory Planning and Management

April 29-May 1, 2014 | Atlanta | 2.1 CEUs Efficiently provide the inventory necessary for good customer service while minimizing the inventory resulting from poor supply chain management.Supply chain management and logistics encompasses all the activities involved in getting products to consumers including planning, storing, moving, and accounting for inventory. Inventory availability is the most important aspect of customer service, and the cost of inventory is one of the most important entries on a companys balance sheet. Recognition of the balance sheet implications of inventory in supply chain management has launched a variety of industry-wide inventory reduction initiatives. Despite all these initiatives to reduce inventory in the supply chain, inventory levels for most companies have remained the same or increased. This course will teach you to minimize inventory through understanding your customers needs.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

Exchange space for time to better meet business objectives Understand when to use either dedicated or shared storage Identify the most convenient locations in a warehouse Identify and use patterns in customer orders to speed fulfillment Evaluate warehouse performance

Optimally size and stock a forward pick area Understand the best practices in order-picking Understand how to think about automation Evaluate and choose a Warehouse Management System
